One of the things I love most about wildlife photography is that I observe animals much more than I might otherwise, and I have questions! Questions I must learn the answers to... I regularly research wildlife behavior, mating rituals, the anatomy differences between males and females in a species, breeding times, when babies are born, "litter" sizes, lifespans, and so much more. Do you know what that plate on some of these pelicans' beaks indicates? Without cheating, give me your answer in the comments and I will come back and see who got it right and/or give you the scoop!

Happy Earth Day! I kicked mine off with a little hiking and observing our two backyard foxes, a red-winged blackbird, a muskrat (or small beaver), a pelican, a heron, two cottontails, and loads of geese and mallards.

New Neighbor. Just as I pulled up to my house this afternoon, this hawk landed in one of the giant spruces across the street, about 100 feet high, and stayed long enough for me to go inside, grab my camera and longest lens, and snap this, before taking flight again. We've been seeing it (or a different one?) a bit lately, but I haven't photographed it before.
